Version: 0.8.0-4
Severity: important
Tags: bullseye patch

Dear Maintainer(s),

libbpfcc builds with static linking against the clang cpp libraries,
despite a shared library being available for dynamic lining. This
causes the library size to inflate by one order of magnitude, and
implies the usual problems with security maintenance.

This is a problem in the upstream CMake files, I've sent a PR to fix it:

https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/3209

I have also prepared a backport and tested it, and opened a MR on Salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bpfcc/-/merge_requests/9

Please consider applying it before the bullseye freeze.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
